I'm 23(f) and during quarintine I decided that if I wasnt going to try and change my lifestyle now while i had nothing else to do then when was I going to do it. So using my brother's dumbbells and YouTube at home workout videos I started to workout. As I dived deeper into the workout world, having never done that before, I discovered calorie counting and adopted that into my routine. I started working out most days, both cardio and weights. I was also calorie counting and enjoying it.
I have, since my teen years, been considered overweight and had tried every fad diet before. This felt different. I wasnt starving, the weight I was losing felt different. My success wasnt just shown on the scales. I also had off scale victories like a lowered bpm. A smaller waist. A stronger body.
I just joined a gym yesturday and went to my first class. I'm going to get some PT training and really get stuck into it and for the first time in my life I feel like I can actually do it. It's not a pipe dream and i dont have to wait until I'm my goal weight to go to the gym. I'm excited for what's to come.
I stepped on the scale this morning and am now officially down a stone. It was earned and I'm so proud of my commitment. I wanted to share with people who understand. I apologize if my post was long winded, but I want it out in the world somewhere that I am doing it. I am getting fit and I'm doing it for myself!
